Founded by Edmund Husserl (1859–1938) and expounded by Max Scheler, Martin Heidegger, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and others, phenomenology ventures forth into the field of experience so that truth might be met in the flesh. It investigates everything \u003ci\u003eas experienced\u003c\/i\u003e. It does not study mere appearance but the true appearances of things, holding that the unfolding of experience allows us to sort true appearances from mere appearance. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book unpacks a series of terms—world, flesh, speech, life, truth, love, and wonder—all of which are bound up with each other in experience. For example, \u003ci\u003eworld\u003c\/i\u003e is where experience takes place; \u003ci\u003eflesh\u003c\/i\u003e names the way our experiential exploration is inscribed into the bearings of our bodily being; \u003ci\u003espeech\u003c\/i\u003e is instituted in bodily presence; \u003ci\u003etruth\u003c\/i\u003e concerns the way our claims about things are confirmed by our experience. A chapter on the phenomenological method describes it as a means of clarifying the modality of experience that is written into its very fabric; and a chapter on the phenomenological movement bridges its divisions while responding to criticisms from analytic philosophy and postmodernism.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chad Engelland","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":45894700630228,"sku":"9780262539319","price":24.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/9208\/files\/BNCImageAPI_b5f43e72-5080-4125-9351-0720677e39e7.jpg?v=1732385893","url":"https:\/\/penguinshop.ca\/products\/9780262539319","provider":"Penguin Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
